• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: We should pronounce ourselves on this Motion and I want to challenge Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve to go forth with it. My Committee, where she is a Member, can write to all the sports Chief Executive Committee Members (CECs) and explain to them how to form these associations. We can give them a framework of how to affiliate themselves with the national Paralympic talent which can then become a pool of talent for the national Paralympic team which will help to promote Para Sports. Today, we have Kshs8.1 billion at the Sports Arts and Development Fund. I challenge Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve ... view

• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: We should do a value for money analysis and should get to know the impact of that money. The Kshs400 million will be enough for Para Sports across the country.

I suggest that this Motion be amended before the putting of the question to state that; ‘a minimum of five per cent of the fund be committed directly to Para Sports’. That will be something practical other than us urging the Government to put their money in Para Sports. There is huge potential and great opportunity. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Hon. Dennitah Ghati changed my perception of people living with disability. One can be walking today just for them to be disabled tomorrow. Jesus gives a story in the bible of a child who was born with disability and His disciples asked for the person behind the sin that led to the child being born blind.

He told them that God knows the reason as to why that child was born like ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Your nephew or child might be the victim tomorrow, hence, we should create a society that thinks of everyone and we should put ourselves in their shoes. We should empathise with them other than looking at it as a favour that we are doing to them. It is a great service to our country. We cannot have cohesion without equalisation of opportunities. It is equalisation of opportunities that creates cohesion that will make one to know that no matter what kind of child he gives birth to or where his child is born, he or she has an equal shot ... view
